Dreadful display last night. Serious lack of joined up thinking in how the players fit the system, and that played out exactly with Sterling and Foden both coming inside, Kane dropping deep and Mount being in the 10 there was no space to play. Full backs inexplicably decided to sit on the half...

Yep. Utter bollocks. The way FIFA/UEFA parade about the globe demanding exemptions for everything is a disgrace. They force countries to give them tax exemptions for fuck’s sake.

Can’t trust anyone in this world, apart from Michael McIndoe.

Italy to bring in 5-day quarantine for all UK travellers. That will disrupt fans’ travel for the potential QF in Rome. Don’t think there’s even 5 days between the R16 and the QF.

Looks like I’ve fallen at the first hurdle. Edit: Actually, sell tickets for 5 days as standard. Any days where there’s less than 30 overs you can purchase a ticket for a reserve day for an additional sum (maybe £10-15 rather than the full amount again)? I haven’t fully thought this through.

Agreed. I get that you can’t go back to timeless tests like the old times but equally, a test match should be 450 overs (90 per day over 5 days) so what’s the harm in having an over limit rather than a day limit?

Why is Scotland lost for good? You’re bound to know an awful lot more than me on this, but I think it’s probably where they could make the most inroads (aside from flipping back the ‘red wall’).

Motson? Not for me, Clive.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

First game they played Stephen O’Donnell as RWB. If they go with a 352 again then we have to play a left footer at LB and overload the wide areas.

Thought this was going to be about tax status to be honest.

How naïve.

Don’t remember this uproar when sponsors/advertisers with FIFA were pulling out due to the corruption scandal.

First one is disgusting. What is that collar?

That’s fair and I get the cynicism around whether 19th July will be held to given previous comments. Can’t imagine it’s too pleasant with a mask on.

In your view, what would be worse for a) the economy, and b) general mental health? 1. 4 week delay to fully reopening with current level restrictions remaining in place until 19th July. 2. Full reopening taking place on Monday but with the very real risk that within 4 weeks we may have to...

One of the biggest things bugging me with all this - those wanting measures lifted seem to be quite content in calling out people who would rather be cautious, instead of the incompetent government whose actions have led us to this point once again! But enough of that, eh?

Edit: I should, of course, have said “having absolutely no reason NOT to reopen”. Makes me sound dangerously like a ‘lockdown lover’ otherwise! ;)

Don’t know whether I’m captured under this, but I just feel like you’ve read a headline figure and are trying to base everything on that, rather than actually looking deeper into the data. Not being negative for the sake of it, just pointing out that it doesn’t fit your argument. For what it’s...
